[Libvir] [PATCH] add bootloader_args to libvirt xml to support bootloaders (like pypxeboot for example) that require arguments
by Hugh Brock
This patch extends libvirt's XML to include a paramater Xen already
supports in sexpr, "bootloader_args." The bootloader_args parameter lets
you pass arguments -- "mac=aa:12:34:56:78:90" for example -- to a
bootloader program that xend invokes when it starts a guest. One such
program, pypxeboot, uses the mac= argument to communicate with a dhcp
server and retrieve the pxeboot kernel and initrd for a paravirt guest.
The patch includes new tests for the bootloader_args XML and sexpr,
which pass.
Note that for the head of current libvirt, the virsh tests do not pass
and virsh will not connect to the xen hypervisor. I don't know if this
is my own build environment or some other issue. However the failure is
the same with or without this patch, so I am submitting it anyway.
Please let me know what you think...

[Libvir] [PATCH] output virsh log to file
by Nobuhiro Itou
Hi,
I made the patch which output debug messages and error messages
of virsh to the log file.
I think that it is necessary to leave logs to the file for the
investigation at the failure.
Debug messages can take appointed optional information,
and error messages will make it easy to specify a cause.
Moreover, I'm thinking about outputting virterror information
to the virsh log file by the next step.
It is simple specifications as follows.
* Destination -- <USER HOME>/.virsh/virsh.log
* Log size -- 1MB(1024*1024)
* Number of Rotations -- 5
* There is process exclusion.
First, will you take in this patch ?
And, I have a plan to enhance logging functionality.
(for example, libvirt error logging)

[Libvir] [PATCH] Cut out "type=ioemu" on Xen3.1
by Saori Fukuta
Hi,
The definition of (type ioemu) is *not* required by Xen3.1.
So I cut out it when xendConfigVersion is 4 or later.

Re: [Libvir] [PATCH] add scheduler API(take 3?)
by Richard W.M. Jones

+{
+ virConnectPtr conn;
+ char *schedtype;
+
+ if (domain == NULL) {

Is this case an error, or were you thinking of adding more semantics
later on here?
(and the same comment for virDomainGet/SetSchedulerParameters)
+static int
+cmdSchedinfo(vshControl * ctl, vshCmd * cmd)

[...]
+ char *str_weight = strdup("weight");
+ char *str_cap = strdup("cap");
+
+ nparams = malloc(sizeof(int));
+ *nparams = 0;
+
+ if (!vshConnectionUsability(ctl, ctl->conn, TRUE))
+ return FALSE;
There's still a problem memory leak here.
+ /* Currently supports Xen Credit only */
+ weight = vshCommandOptInt(cmd, "weight", &weightfound);
+ if(weightfound){ inputparam++; }
+
+ cap = vshCommandOptInt(cmd, "cap", &capfound);
+ if(capfound){ inputparam++; }
and can this be made so it isn't Xen-specific?
+ if ((domain == NULL) || (domain->conn == NULL))
+ return -1;
+
+ priv = (xenUnifiedPrivatePtr) domain->conn->privateData;
+ if (priv->handle < 0 || domain->id < 0)
+ return -1;
At the lowest level, these functions should return error messages back
to the upper layers. Otherwise users have nothing to diagnose errors with.
+ /*
+ * Support only dom_interface_version >=5
+ * (Xen3.1.0 or later)
+ */
+ if (dom_interface_version < 5)

Is this because earlier hypervisors didn't support this, or is it just
not implemented?

[Libvir] [PATCH] Fix strange error message in virsh attach-device
by Masayuki Sunou
Hi
Now, virsh attach-device displays the following messages when "device"
attribute of "disk" element is "floppy" in XML.
# virsh attach-device HVM_RH4_file floppy.xml
libvir: Xen Daemon error : POST operation failed: (xend.err 'Invalid Configuration: XendConfig: @\x14\xce not a valid device type')
error: Failed to attach device from floppy.xml
This patch fixes this strange error message displaying "@\x14\xce".
Description of this patch
VirDomainParseXMLDiskDesc() returns 0 without putting data in virBuffer,
when "floppy" is set.
Therefore, virParseXMLDevice() returns no initialized data, and
xenDaemonAttachDevice() passes Xen this data.
Because virDomainParseXMLDesc() works wrong when this patch changes
return value of VirDomainParseXMLDiskDesc(),this patch fixes
virParseXMLDevice() as follows.
- Initialize data
- Return error if data does not change.
As a result, xenDaemonAttachDevice() doesn't pass strange data to Xen,
and Xen doesn't return strange error message.
